For under $10 a year you can join this email forum based in the Eau Claire area. The forum is "Christian. " There is a sub-list included in the yearly fee for forum matters that are specifically "Catholic." There is also a sub-forum for political discussions. In pre-COVID times there were lots of classes, field trips and events being advertised on this list. Now it is more useful for curriculum questions and information requests. There are a number of families from Dunn County participating in this forum.

"FCHE is a Christian homeschool support group that is not affiliated with any church or denomination. Our primary function is to provide support in the Titus 2 model to moms who are home educating their children. This includes both the personal support of bestowing encouragement and prayer, and the practical support of sharing information, ideas, and resources pertaining to home education.
We endeavor to strengthen mothers, and through them whole families, to train up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Therefore, our foundation and primary focus is the monthly moms' meetings where this support can occur. It is highly recommended that those desiring to participate in FCHE commit to regular attendance of these meetings. Any mom may attend these meetings without participating in any other FCHE activity, but the reverse situation is discouraged (e.g. attending field trips without attending the meetings.) It is at these meetings that you will be able to receive support and give support to others, and develop the kind of relationships that will bless you and keep you going in home education."
